#sevenstudy

late october/early november.

trying to figure out a new work/life balance with uni as finals are around the corner. shudders.

Apps I love right now:

Quiet Reader

Snazzy Labs, introduced me to this, and it is amazing, by using a shortcut it turns any large block of text into a readable non- distracting, customisable interface. This app, currently Mac only, is completely free.

Structured

This is a day planner app as well as a calendar app, but it allows me to dump a bunch of tasks that I need to do in the sidebar and then plan my week accordingly. By not having a fixed time on when to start and when to end, I am free to shuffle around those tasks and place them where it works best for me. It enables me to see if I have planned adequate travel time and breaks for myself throughout the day. It's free to download, but some options are locked behind a paywall.

Cron

This is also a calendar app, recently acquired by Notion, so I am expecting big things from this app. I have been trying lots of calendar apps lately, as I find the default ones are lacking functionality. The most valuable feature I find it has is the keyboard shortcuts (those of you who use Notion will become accustomed to them quite quickly) and its use of multiple times zones on the one calendar view. It's free and only open to early access now if you want to give it a try.

Fig

This is an app for those of you who frequently use the terminal on your computer, and you are looking for an easier way to navigate around and execute commands. Fig is just a small app that offers a small IDE-like interface for the terminal. It's been so helpful for me, who can struggle with the correct spelling and phrasing of commands.

which one is best?
